Manipuri. :)

Reicht das für eine Aufnahme der Sprache oder soll ich noch einen mit Text suchen? (Eins ist ja nur ein Request des Textes)

I have two more songs in Akan if you'd like, so they can get added as a new language on the site

Added a translation into Wymysorys to the list.

Also, we have some songs that once were added as Indian French, but there have been doubts, and they currently are in Unknown. If anyone wants to take a look: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/virtue-virtual-lyrics.html

For the songs by Luc Arbogast: The singer is fluent in the Alsatian dialect so it might be that, but I remember that when he participated in "The Voice: la plus belle voix" he explained to the judges that the lyrics for the songs were a mixture of various languages and had no real meaning except to sound "medieval" like.

Ah, thanks for pointing that out.
Currently we have official translations instead of lyrics there anyway - so I would suggest the translations get added as such, the lyrics entries emptied with that info, and re-categorized as Unknown.

Danke, habs vorgeschlagen! Hm, laut Wikipedia wird die Sprache von den Sprechern selbst eher Meitei genannt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meitei_language
Aber offiziell heißt's Manipuri in Indien.
Ich überlass die Entscheidung mal den Admins - oder irgendwelche Präferenzen?

Bitte und auch danke. :)
Ich weiß nicht welcher Name besser ist.
Also bei den Liedern im Internet steht ja meistens Manipuri und eher selten Meitei. Also kam mir beim suchen auf jeden Fall so vor. Bin aber jetzt auch nicht so der Indien Profi.
Was wäre wenn man einfach beides benutzt wie bei Filipino/Tagalog? Also Meitei/Manipuri oder Manipuri/Meitei. Oder wäre das doof?
Sonst habe ich keine Ahnung und überlasse es auch den Admins. :)

https://lyricstranslate.com/de/tekno-lyrics.html
Bei diesem Lied bin ich mir nicht 100% sicher, aber ich denke, es ist nigerianisches Pidgin.
"gbadun" wird zwar auch in der Sprache Yoruba benutzt, aber auch dort https://nigeriandictionary.com/i-gbadun-am / http://naijalingo.com/words/gbadun (ist ja im gleichen Land)
So ein Wort wie "dey" erinnert mich auch sehr an jamaikanisches Kreol. Also denke ich mal ist das Lied in nigerianisches Pidgin?

Es gibt zu viel Englisch auf der Welt und sowas macht mich unsicher. :D

I've also found a song in a language called Anatolian, but I don't know what language is this, it can be a constructed language, I asked the uploader of the video about the language and I'm waiting for the answer...

Not sure but they might mean Hittite, the best-known of the Anatolian languages (all of which are extinct).

So, yes, let's wait for information from the translator.

I don't know what "the list" is.

I just added a Soussou or Susu* song, but the language does not appear from the drop-down list of languages on the 'Add a song' page. I was forced to choose a language, so I chose English for now. Maybe the language is there, but I can't find it.

Please advise. Thanks!

*Swedensour told me Soussou is French spelling, Susu is English. She believes this song is Mande or Bambara, if I understand correctly. The album liner notes simply say that this artist "usually sings in Soussou". See this forum.

"The list" is the list you can see on the first page of this discussion, it has all the languages that don't have enough entries to be on the drop-down list on the 'Add a song' page, but have any entries on LT and are usually 'tagged' as 'Other' when you pick a language when you publish a song or translation. You need 3 of those to make a 'category' for that language, so the ones on the list have just one or two. Also, when you add a song in an 'unlisted' language simply tag it as 'other' and write a comment about it here with a link to it and the name of the language.

Susu is a Mandinke language related to Bambara. She could be singing in Susu, or Bambara, or even Mandinke. :)

If you don't know which language it is it would be even better if you'd categorize it as Unknown.
